8 Out of 10 Cats

The headline says it all. Seven comedians + 1 laugh track = not funny

8 out of 10 cats is a game show in which two teams answer questions linked to opinion polls answered for by the general British public. Hosted by the terrific Jimmy Carr, it features Sean Lock and Dave Spikey (both also brilliant) as the team captains, and a host of famous faces to be the other team members. The comedy comes thick and fast, especially from Lock and Spikey, with regular quips from the guests, most of which are surprisingly funny! With a host like Carr, and team captains who know what they're doing, this programme is an absolute treat and should not be missed.

This programme has become one of my favourite comedy game shows, up there with Have I Got News For You, Shooting Stars, and Never Mind the Buzzcocks. Don't Miss!

Love it. Ashamed to admit that panel shows are my way of keeping up with UK news and culture, and this is still one of the best. TheyAlways have a good variety of guests, and the regulars are doing a good job as well. Of course, Sean Locke will be missed, but there's not much we can do about that.

Too much canned laughter. Even the most stupid attempts at humor get a raucous laugh, and most of the attempts are stupid.

Has this show been cancelled? I hope not. It has been well over 2 years since the last episode came out and there has been no mention of a season 23 of this show anywhere. It's not like Channel 4 has forgotten about this show, there are still many repeats of it on E4 Extra and the like, but it's getting quite boring and I'm sick of rewatching old episodes of this show that, frankly, just don't hold up anymore these days. It honestly feels as though the spin off to this show - 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown - is completely overshadowing the original (this show) and as such they just can't be bothered putting out any new episodes of the original, which is honestly just so annoying.
